Clean Water
It’s Everybody’s Business

From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use.
![Page 3: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In Kalamazoo County, it is hard to imagine that we could ever run out of fresh water..
Because 20% of our planet’s supply(90% of the US supply) is right here.

BUT looks ARE deceiving.The little blue sphere represents ALL the water on Earth.
(Diameter 860 miles=Salt Lake City to Topeka)
![Page 5: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Of ALL water on Earth, only about 0.007% is economically available for human use.
![Page 6: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
That’s not much.
![Page 7: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The SUPPLY of available water is DECREASING because of rainwater contamination.
![Page 8: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Meanwhile,
DEMAND for available water is INCREASING
at the same time
the SUPPLY of available water is DECREASING.
![Page 9: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
For this reason, clean water is Kalamazoo County’s most valuable resource.
It will continue to become increasingly more valuable in the future.

And just like caring for any physical system, (car, body, house, etc) prevention is many more times more cost effective than treatment.
![Page 11: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EPA studies show that up to 70% of all water pollution is caused by stormwater runoff.
![Page 12: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Drains carry stormwater runoff
from our homes and businesses to our lakes and rivers.
![Page 13: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Storm water = Rainwater + Pollution
The major pollutants are:
• Sediment• Hydrocarbons• Salt• Bacteria• Trash• Heat
![Page 14: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The solution to the pollution of rainwater
is to not let rainwater
gather volume and speed.
This can easily be achieved by immediately capturing, filtering, cleaning and storing it as close as possible to where rain falls.

COOL and CLEAN!
Keep our Water
![Page 21: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Low Impact Development (LID) is a powerful strategy that Kalamazoo County can use to keep our waters clean. There are lots of options to
choose from.
![Page 22: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The GOAL ofLow Impact Development (LID)
is to recreate a site’s presettlement hydrology
by using designs that:

infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, anddetain(Make bullets look like raindrops)stormwater runoff close to its source.
![Page 24: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There are two kinds of Low Impact Development (LID):
Non Structural and Structural
![Page 25: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Non-Structural LIDs
stop stormwater runoff before it leaves the site.
![Page 26: Clean Water Its Everybodys Business. From a distance we might get the impression that our planet has an unlimited supply of clean water available to use](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051614/5517b0c15503460e6e8b621a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Structural LIDs
stop stormwater-related impacts after they occur.
